Dec’s Room

I have to take some pictures on my camera, so I’m going to update on some old things, too!

We have made a lot of improvements on the house in the last year, but my most fun project was putting together Declan’s nursery. It has been fun to go all-out with the blue!

The sources were Nurseryworks (Loom crib-a great deal on Craigslist!), IKEA (the bed is a hacked Hemnes daybed and the rug is from there, as well), Boodalee (twin bedding and wall decals; sadly, they are now shut down), and Dwell Studio (crib bedding). I have had the lockers for awhile; they were purchased via Craigslist and I painted them myself. His book shelf is of the rain gutter variety.

About a year ago, I collected my first celebrity felt finger puppet from Etsy seller abbeychristine. Steve Martin cracked me up, and even though Todd balked (he didn’t think I seriously wanted it when I sent him the link), I had to have him! Martha Stewart joined him last year. The last puppet is my rendition of Judi Dench. Lisa thought it looked like our grandmother until I finished it. We still need Elvis, John Cleese, and Bruce Campbell at minimum, but I haven’t had the time to try making them!

Judi, Steve, and Martha live on the windowsill with some dinosaurs and robots. Along with all of his reptile and superhero books, the Plan Toys vehicles, and all the little characters sitting in his window, it really looks like a little boy room now. I love it!

I’m sure Declan will in time, but he hasn’t slept in it yet!
